Henry v Shelvey/Colback
It’s likely that one of either Shelvey or Colback will return their place in midfield for tonight’s game, despite both putting in a full shift at the weekend. Whichever one plays could be up against former Wolves man Karl Henry: most will remember him for leading the assault against Joey Barton a few years back.
Now 33, the midfielder may have aged since those first battles but he’s no less physical on the field. Whichever defensive midfielder Rafa chooses to partner Hayden needs to keep a cool head and not rise to his late challenges and goading. Both central midfield choices aren’t shy when it comes to standing up for themselves, but keeping a cool head – and 11 men on the pitch – will give us more of a chance of taking all three points.
Mitro turns 22 this week. I think people sometimes forget how young our mad Serb is.

Shearer was criticised and for criticising Zaha’s goal record this week and his own goal scoring record when he was young was highlighted showing he only scored about once every 5 games before he was 23 (he was played a lot on the wing though). My point is that we need to be patient with the mad Serb as he offers a lot besides goals and hopefully the goals will come.

Ice: I remember when I was 21 and having 8 or so pints of exhibition and becoming very well acquainted with looking at the inside of the toilet bowl. As I was saying, people forget how much pressure and scrutiny is on these young kids. They may look like men but they are still not grown up.

I see Sissoko got his wish to play in the Champions League – for 9 minutes! I think he will do OK for Spurs though as they need another direct runner and he showed some good moments under Rafa and for France. It is difficult to judge a player who had to suffer the 3 stooges and if he kept his gob shut there might even be a few of us wishing him good luck and saying his career was derailed at NUFC. Let’s see how he does for Spurs, some of their players are obviously knackered from being overplayed last year so he should get some gametime soon. Still no end product though, which even the best coach in the world would find hard to fix.

Villa: I am in Chicago and there are 2 main bars showing football. Villa fans go to one and NUFC fans go to another. There is an arrangement that when we play each other the other set of fans go to the other team’s bar. Went last season and they were a very nice set of people except for them singing “You’re going down with the Villa” for the whole 90 minutes 🙂 Plus, I can’t tell if the Villa fans are ever happy as that accent of yours always comes across as a bit down in the dumps. Even Ozzy Osbourne, who was funny as fck before his brain went, and still sounded like Sharon had put his puppy in the clothes dryer.

Crikey Villa fan I must admit I feel bad for you. Your team is shocking. Brentford had more shots off and in target – they were the away team – and they were Brentford! Your boys need to pull their finger out and concentrate for the full 90. I still think there is enough quality to finish in the playoff places, but your lads need to have that hunger to succeed in this league, otherwise they will get out fought.

Ice you can get it in Asda £1 a bottle ?
Big Dave(Quote)
Yeah, except it’s not in the alcohol section. It’s in the household cleaning isle in between Asda’s own bleach and cilit bang.
